Moosebumps: An Exploration Into Modern Day Horripilation is the name of the upcoming April album from the trio. Today (February 15), Heads get the first single from the album, and its eerieness and unsettling tone are what one would expect from the Dr. Octagonecologyst creators. “Octagon Octagon” features Automator’s Deltron 3030 collaborator Del The Funky Homosapien and is truly, as Keith raps, “Octagon surgery for people who need an Octagon face” in “a world going in Octagon circles.” The track uses word association for the centralized theme of octagon and QBert’s scratches to close out the song are akin to what Heads have heard from the champion turntablist over the past few decades.

The trio briefly toured last year. Before revealing that another album was on the way, Keith told Ambrosia For Heads that the trio’s first album, Dr. Octagonecologyst, shaped his career. “That album got me in tax trouble,” he began with a laugh. “But naw, it means a lot to give the fans what they been waiting for [after] so long. Some people were teenagers when [Dr. Octagonecologyst] dropped. Now, some of them are 40 and over.” This marks the proper comeback for the group. In 2006, Keith released The Return Of Dr. Octagon without Dan and QBert.

Keith’s extraterrestrial alter-ego was born at a career crossroads. In 1996, he along with QBert and Automator created essentially an audible movie with Dr. Octagonecologyst, starring Keith as a bloodthirsty alien doctor and his two cohorts as the producers of a distorted, supernatural LP that would receive critical acclaim and accumulate Keith a whole new fan-base. What could have been a brief stop between Ultramagnetic MC’s, Cenubites, and “Black Elvis” became a benchmark that fans lauded.
